Chapter 652 Darling, How Could You Bear to Do This
Her mouth opened and closed, her voice choked in her throat. Thousands of words boiled down to a trembling sentence, “I’m back.”
After five years, Evelyn finally stood on this land again, seeing the person she had longed to see every moment of those five
years.
“Do you know how hard I’ve looked for you all these years? At first, when you had that accident, I didn’t believe it at all. How could someone who was perfectly fine suddenly vanish? I thought they must have made a mistake, but then…” At this point, Grace recalled the hardships of the past, unable to continue. She shook her head and said, “You little rascal, how could you just leave like that for so many years…”
Evelyn felt her shoulder dampened by the warm tears. She raised her trembling hand to comfort her on the back. “I’m sorry. There were reasons why I left back then. I had no choice. If there was any other way, I wouldn’t have chosen this path.”
She felt a bitter sadness in her heart, remembering her
helpless and lost self five years ago. They said she was heartless, but she was the most heartless towards herself.
“How have you been all these years?” Grace worried about her and was most concerned that she hadn’t been living well.
Evelyn lowered her gaze, unsure of how to answer. The physical hardships were manageable, but the emotional struggles were not something that could be explained in a few words. All she could do was reassure her, “I’m fine.”
Both of them were filled with emotions as they met. Standing on the side, Lucas was completely ignored for the first time. The little child didn’t understand much, but seeing his mother cry so intensely made him feel uncomfortable. “Mom, please don’t cry.”
The sound of “mom” not only brought Evelyn back to her senses but also helped Grace escape from her excited state.
When Grace’s gaze landed on Lucas, she froze. That little rascal, who hadn’t even reached her hip, looked so much. like Evelyn-around seventy percent resemblance. Especially when he called Evelyn what? Mom?
Grace felt her brain failing her as if she had been hit and stunned.
“Lucas, this is Mommy’s good friend, you can call her
‘Godmother!!” Evelyn wiped away her tears and smiled. She had previously agreed with Grace that she would be the child’s godmother in the future.
Lucas stood there confidently and politely greeted, “Hello, godmother. My name is Lucas.”
After he finished speaking, the little child asked curiously, “Mom, what does ‘godmother’ mean?”
“Godmother is a term for someone who has a close relationship with us.”
Lucas nodded, “Oh, I see~”
Grace listened to their conversation without any reaction, only staring at Lucas in front of her in a daze. If she hadn’t heard it wrong just now, this child’s name is Lucas, sharing the same surname as Evelyn. So was this Evelyn’s child?
Did Evelyn start a new family with someone else in these past five years? But… Grace thought of Huston, the man. who had tirelessly searched for her during these five years. It was precisely because she thought of him that something suddenly flashed in her mind, and everything became clear.
She quickly squatted down, carefully examining the child’s features. No wonder, this child not only looks like Evelyn but also bears a striking resemblance to Huston!
